Chapter 131 Unprecedented! Participating in the three-point contest and dunk contest at the same time! A nationwide sensation!
Harvey really couldn't figure out why Ye Qingchen was dissatisfied with the contract conditions issued by Nike.
In fact, as a rookie player, being able to get a lifetime contract is already an incredible contract.
You know, Michael Jordan's first contract was only $2.5 million over five years, not even a lifetime contract.
Subsequently, the reason why Michael Jordan was able to obtain a lifetime contract and 4.5% of Nike's shares was mainly because he brought huge benefits to Nike.
Frank was actually right. Michael Jordan did save Nike so that he could get Nike's shares.
Now, Ye Qingchen has only shown great potential, but has not won any honors, and is not necessarily guaranteed to have good results in the playoffs.
Based on this alone, it is simply wishful thinking to get Nike to promise to give Ye Qingchen shares.
No one's money comes from strong winds. Even if Ye Qingchen has great potential, he still has to consider the actual situation!
Harvey reluctantly said goodbye to Frank and followed Ye Qingchen out of the club.
On the way home with Ye Qingchen, Harvey told Ye Qingchen all the above objective situations.
What he means is that the contract terms are completely acceptable.
If Ye Qingchen gets more honors and has a greater influence in the basketball field, he can continue to negotiate with Nike. Anyway, looking at it in the future, is it possible for Ye Qingchen to sign a lifetime contract with Nike?
Any downside!
However, Ye Qingchen did not listen to Harvey's opinion at all. Instead, he asked:
"If I made it to the All-Stars in my first year, averaged 30+ triple-doubles per game, led the team to the playoffs, and had an eye-catching performance in the playoffs, I wouldn't deserve anything better.
contract?"
Ye Qingchen's words left Harvey speechless. Harvey knew Ye Qingchen's strength very well.
Indeed, Ye Qingchen has the ability to lead the Lakers to shine in the playoffs.
However, this has no conflict with signing a lifetime endorsement contract with Nike!
Harvey still doesn't understand why Ye Qingchen has such a big appetite and must get shares of Nike.
In Harvey's view, Ye Qingchen has received enough now.
"You received an annual salary of more than three million U.S. dollars in your rookie season, and then Nike offered you a lifetime contract. Are you still not satisfied?"
"You must know that the average salary in the entire league is only a few hundred thousand!"
"I don't think you have a full understanding of current prices!"
Harvey made his point directly.
After Ye Qingchen listened to Harvey's point of view, he said with an indifferent expression:
"Hey, Harvey, you know nothing about wealth. You have no idea what I want!"
Yes, in Harvey's view, maybe a lifetime contract is luxury and sky-high price enough.
But for Ye Qingchen, who came from time travel, such a contract really looked down upon.
Judging from his income from these few ring matches, his victory over the "Bad Boys" earned him a bonus of US$45 million.
Then, there is still 15 million in savings left.
Altogether, his net worth has reached US$60 million.
Of course, excluding taxes and other miscellaneous expenses, only more than 40 million actually went into my pocket.
In fact, Ye Qingchen was not satisfied with this number.
He originally wanted to make a small profit in his rookie season, but now the new season is only less than half of the schedule.
But Ye Qingchen feels that in the coming time, few people will dare to take the risk to challenge him.
Even those professional fighting masters will definitely think seriously about their own strength after watching their own ring matches.
If they are not completely sure, they will never dare to challenge themselves.
Take Undertaker and Remosaur as an example. They had both said they wanted to challenge themselves before, but now they have completely silenced themselves.
They are not fools. When they see Ye Qingchen's crazy performance in the ring, they must think twice before acting.
If they challenge Ye Qingchen and lose the game, it will be a fatal blow to their careers.
Therefore, no one is willing to joke about their career.
You must know that those who challenged Ye Qingchen before were all players who had grievances with Ye Qingchen on the basketball court. They themselves were amateur players.
Amateur players have one advantage: if they lose, they lose. In the end, others will add that they are all amateurs, so losing is normal!
But professionals are different. If they lose, everyone will blame them and ridicule them that a professional cannot beat an amateur. This is really not worth the gain!
Therefore, Ye Qingchen's courage to openly challenge the elite fighting masters in the United States is actually because he has grasped the fact that he is an amateur, and he has no worries at all.
However, there were not many people who could see through Ye Qingchen's true thoughts. They only saw Ye Qingchen's arrogant and domineering side, but they did not see the shrewd thoughts behind Ye Qingchen.
There is no airtight wall in the world, and Ye Qingchen's breakdown in negotiations with Nike was eventually exposed.
When American fans and celebrities knew the whole story, they were completely shocked.
Of course, everyone has the same opinion on this matter, that is, Ye Qingchen is simply out of his mind.
They felt that the terms of the lifetime contract offered by Nike were already sky-high and very risky.
But what surprised them was that Ye Qingchen still refused to accept it, thinking that Nike looked down on him.
At this time, those famous speakers were really pissed off and immediately cursed Ye Qingchen for his arrogant behavior:
"Do you really think you are a superstar? Do you think you are comparable to Michael Jordan? Are you not satisfied with a lifetime contract? You actually want Nike's stock price?"
"I have never seen such a shameless person! Does he think he is the president of the United States? This is his first season, and he has not even won an honor!"
"Damn it! He really deserves to die! He refuses to sign such a lucrative contract. He is definitely out of his mind!"
"Confused! Really confused! Does he think his worth is worth enough for Nike to give him shares?"
"I think he just fights too much in the ring, and everyone goes crazy!"
"Let's see, once this news comes out, I believe other sneaker companies will not seek cooperation with him!"
"He has blocked his own road!"
Both fans and celebrities were in disbelief at Ye Qingchen's behavior.
Even Michael Jordan was shocked when he learned about this:
"A generous gift! Nike actually offered him a lifetime contract?"
"I saved them back then and just got the lifetime contract. They gave it to him in the first year?"
"Damn it! Who does he think he is? Does he think he can really compare to me?"
"What's even more disgusting is that he still doesn't accept it?"
"He still wants shares? This guy is really a son of a bitch!"
Obviously, Danzi was quite dissatisfied with both Ye Qingchen and Nike. He thought Nike valued Ye Qingchen too much, and he thought Ye Qingchen was too proud.
This makes Danzi take the honor of this season even more seriously. He wants to let Ye Qingchen take a good look at how strong he is in the next games.
The contract incident between Ye Qingchen and Nike caused a stir, but it did not have any impact on Ye Qingchen himself.
At this time, he is still in the suspension period.
Although he cannot play games, he will still appear on the sidelines to watch the Lakers' home games.
Without Ye Qingchen, the Lakers have become a weak team.
After five games, they only had one win and four losses, which made Lao Dengtou quite dissatisfied.
Of course, the poor record of the Lakers also reflects the weakness of the Lakers' overall strength.
Jerry West also felt quite helpless about this result.
Although the free market has now begun, the players on the free market are, to put it bluntly, scraps. They are all unwanted by other teams and are put on the shelves in search of prey.
Therefore, Jerry West does not like any of these players who can be traded.
Right now, he is not worried about the Lakers' record. Even if the Lakers lose all ten games during Ye Qingchen's suspension, their ranking in the Western Conference will not change much.
Anyway, it is safe to enter the playoffs. After a while, James Worthy will come back, and then the Lakers' strength will return to the level of a strong team.
So Jerry West is not in a hurry now. Instead, he wants to let the Lakers' current lineup get used to the situation without Ye Qingchen.
Whenever Ye Qingchen shows up at home to watch a Lakers game, the fans at the scene will give him huge cheers and shouts.
Ye Qingchen has become the most popular sports star in Los Angeles. Not only does he perform well on the basketball court, but his record in the ring also remains undefeated.
Such athletes will of course make many fans obsessed with them.
On this day, Ye Qingchen appeared at the Lakers' home game against the Heat.
